The Minnesota Wilderness continue to be one of the early season success stories in the NAHL as they moved into first place in the Midwest Division with a 3-0 shutout win and sweep of the Soo Eagles Saturday night at Pullar Stadium.

This time it was goaltender Frank Oplinger with the shutout, making 24 saves. The Wilderness outshot the Soo by a wide 47-24 margin and got second period goals from Darian Romanko and Nolan Culver and a third period marker from Michael Covach on the power play.

It was another perfect penalty killing night for Minnesota who is still perfect on the season.
